Relieving xenophobia through fostering resident self-affirmation
Xenophobia (i.e. fear of foreigners) can threaten the tourism industry and communal interactions between residents and travellers. However, the limited research examining the phenomenon has focused on the negative association between xenophobia and tourists’ visit intention, leaving a research void on exploring how to mitigate xenophobia. Thus, this study focuses on residents’ standpoints, specifically proposing that residents’ identification and…
More Than Just Words
People tend to support social initiatives when they feel a psychological connection to the beneficiaries. This tendency often leads hospitality firms to prioritize social initiatives that appeal to customers over those that address the most urgent needs. While previous research has explored situations where people have pre-existing connections to beneficiaries, few studies have examined whether intentionally creating perceived closeness can achie…
Strategic corporate social responsibility in the tourism and hospitality industry
Considering the growing significance of CSR in the corporate world, this study critically reflects the extant CSR literature and CSR practices, and proposes a conceptual CSR framework, called Strategic CSR, to highlight the importance of developing and implementing CSR practices that can create and optimize both social and business value. Strategic CSR incorporates four existing concepts and frameworks: creating shared value, enlightened stakehol…

Existing hospitality and tourism research has focused on internal stakeholders (e.g., employees) when addressing the social pillar of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework, but external stakeholder perspectives remain underexplored. This conceptual paper fills that gap in the literature by developing a propositional framework on strategies to foster hospitality and tourism firms’ social innovation with their key external stakehold…
Effects of Option Framing on the Purchase of Luxury Hotel Ancillary Amenities
When booking a hotel, customers typically select a room size and then add extra services like breakfast or spa access, generating ancillary revenue. While widely studied in airlines, ancillary revenue is less explored in hotels despite its growing importance. Hotels often use upselling, where customers start with a basic room and add services. However, marketing research suggests that offering all services upfront and allowing customers to remove…
Unplanned Purchases of Luxury Goods and Experiences
Unplanned purchases, such as same-day bookings for hotel stays, are an emerging trend. However, few studies have examined unplanned purchases, particularly luxury hospitality and tourism purchases. This study compares consumers’ unplanned purchases of luxury goods and experiences. Four studies of luxury consumers in Hong Kong and the United States show that unplanned purchases of luxury experiences (vs. luxury goods) increase positive emotions an…
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
Considerable research on COVID-19 in tourism and hospitality literature has focused on identifying the negative effects of this crisis and exploring measures to suppress factors that demotivate people from traveling. However, factors that can fuel people’s motivation to travel again remain underexplored. In response to this gap, the present research proposes unique psychology that is related to the current pandemic environment, inaction regret, a…

Seventy Korean older adults residing in the community were interviewed in person using a semistructured interview guide. Major themes included conflicting desires among participants to: 1) inform the patient directly, 2) inform the patient indirectly, and 3) inform only the family. Subthemes under the first them…
